The losing side saw only Jonathan Person in double-digits with 12 points and suffered a bad shooting day connecting only 16 shots in 70 attempts to write a tournament low of 42 points.

The first minutes exampled the story of the game, as both sides found a difficulty to score, but Sweden was strong in the race with a 10-12 lead after one period.

The next 3 minutes saw only 2 points scored by each side, while Sweden failed to score in the closing 3:21 minutes of the 1st half, and entered the locker room down 23-18.

Person stepped up for Sweden but Gobert was too much to handle under the rim, and France remained on top.

Keita connected for 4 points in a row to create a 38-31, and added a big three pointer in the first bucket of the last quarter to push the gap to 10.

Person answered with the same coin and later added another combination of 3 points to make it just a 43-37 game with 3:12 to play, but Gobert with a tip-in and Thomas Ceci with a corner three pointer ignited the 9-0 run that put Sweden out of reach, and saved France from the last spot in the group.
